Situation

Started developing the Chinese market and secured contracts from the PRC government for equipment to the world's largest coal port. The PRC required a manufacturing plant be built next to the port after we reached $20M in equipment sold.

Task/Activity

  • Penetrated a new market not knowing the language, the culture, or having a network.
  • Developed a network of information seekers and participated in industry trade shows and events.
  • Published papers in Chinese as a global expert on coal processing and purification and made governmental connections, including Chinese Minister of Coal and technical liaison.

Results

Massive growth in the world's largest market, including striking a deal with the Chinese government as a partner of the CCP and the sole provider of purification to the CNCCIEC.

This is a perfect example of a small, internationally minded company committing to growing an international market with limited resources and entrepreneurial grit.

Situation

Founded a special services company in 2019, facing a pandemic and economic shutdown in its infancy.

Task/Activity

  • Remained nimble by modifying business plan to adjust to state of an unpredictable economy.
  • Gained additional funding to support business development after meeting necessities.

Results

Grew business to $3.5M in revenue in year 3, representing over 800% revenue growth.

Early to spot trends as well as issues and quick to formulate an action plan.

"[Gary] was always a step ahead in anything he managed... Organized and proficient, there is no doubt he is an asset to any organization he works with."
